Analog Devices' HMC1065LP4E is a compact, GaAs, MMIC, image reject, low-noise converter in a leadless, RoHS-compliant SMT package. This device provides a small signal conversion gain of 13 dB with 17 dBc of image rejection, and -2 dBm input IP3. The HMC1065LP4E utilizes an RF LNA followed by an I/Q mixer which is driven by an active X2 multiplier. IF1 and IF2 mixer outputs are provided and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering of the unwanted sideband. The HMC1065LP4E is a much smaller alternative to hybrid-style image reject downconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.
